Alila Bangsar Hotel, Kuala Lumpur
Expert reviews
“Having established its brand in Bali, Alila has opened one of KL’s most appealing new hotels. The pared-back design, integrating concrete, wood and plenty of plants, suits the tropics and there are great views from the spacious rooms, which run between the 35th and 40th floors.”
“The Alila Bangsar looms over the low-rises of Brickfields and Bangsar like a giant black domino. The fresh white and teak wood interiors look like they’ve been pulled straight from Pinterest and there’s an excellent restaurant and ravishing rooftop swimming pool too.”

All you need to know
Perched high above one of Kuala Lumpur’s most bustling districts, Alila Bangsar merges cutting-edge, minimalist aesthetics with an abundance of natural light, verdant foliage and remarkable vistas, creating a peaceful urban haven.
The serene white interiors of Alila Bangsar provide a striking counterpoint to its smooth, dark exterior. This contrast enhances the sense of calm amidst the district’s lively retail, gastronomic, leisure, and nocturnal scenes.
Conveniently connected to Bangsar LRT Station, Alila Bangsar is also just 1.2 miles from NU Sentral and KL Sentral train stations.
Boasting design by Neri&Hu, the hotel’s modern air-conditioned rooms are equipped with a desk and a flat-screen TV. Select rooms come with a balcony. En-suite bathrooms are fitted with shower amenities. Guests are granted access to the Alila Living Room on each floor for complimentary refreshments.
Botanica+Co delights guests with its international and Asian fare served all day, while Entier presents French gastronomy led by a Japanese Michelin-starred chef. The rooftop bar is the perfect spot for enjoying refreshments and drinks.

Very good
Beautiful interior, very comfortable bed, wide room and wide glass window. Lobby has pleasant smell. Facility is also a plus point - lots of nice and serene seating areas, coffee machine and snacks at every floor, gym and swimming pool. Also you can get very nice view from the swimming pool area. Love this place.
During check in it seems that the receptionist is out of hand because she's the only one on duty. Minor inconvenience - lift from lobby to ground floor took some time. Parking is a bit confusing and I couldn't find information from website. Just call receptionist to find your way.

Was Great
From the views, facilities, staff to the breakfast everything was great.
If you use the parking, you have to through 3 different elevators to get to your car every time. Although the wait is not very long still feels like a hassle.

Overall the staying experience is Superb, very comfortable and the pool comes with a nice city view
The room's design is very comfortable, with good privacy and a nice city view. I love the swimming pool and 24-hour Gym room open for guests. The environment feels cozy and relaxing, with friendly staff, definitely will book another stay in the future. Highly recommend for tourist to book this place.
The wooden floor in my room - 3612 seems warped, every time I step on it makes a squeaking sound, would be great if it could be fixed.

Alila Bangsar
Our second stay at Alila Bangsar, we love the location of this hotel in KL,convenient for Brickfield,Bangsar,Midvalley but also the transport to KLIA at Sentral station. We love the spacious room and comfortable bed. The staff is lovely and always helpful. The restaurant downstairs Botanica is also very good.

Fabulous
Rooms are spacious and have amazing bathrooms and views. Good ambiance with the lighting in the room with many options . Great choice for breakfast and friendly staff.
Taking two elevators to get to the room can take a while, even if generally they are always available straight away.

Lovely stay
- the staff were very helpful and friendly - we arrived early and were actually able to check in around 2.5 hours early which was lovely - the room was very clean on arrival - beds are very comfortable and absolutely huge! - the shower is very nice, high pressure - breakfast was lovely
- the lifts get rather tedious after a while, you have to take a lift to 41st floor, then a different one down to the accommodation - on the last day we opened all the curtains fully in our room and noticed mushrooms growing by the door!! This must be due to humidity but was very well hidden by our curtains. - I am not a fussy eater so I liked the breakfast a lot, however if you are fussy you will struggle. This is a very traditional breakfast for Malaysia, lots of curry, pho etc. egg station was lovely though - the location is strange. It is pretty much not near anything other than little Indian, however the train line is close

Fantastic night view with high floor
High floor rooms
High floor lobby and different floor break fast. Break fast could ideally be in same location as lobby

Amazing and comfy stay
Waiting for the elevators to the lobby did not take long or even going into the room levels Quick check in and check out Big room and bathroom Quiet environment - easy for to work, study and read The free coffee machine maker near the lifts! Clean swimming pool Location close to mid-valley!
Too many buttons to control the lightings, maybe a diagram to know which switch controls which lights Otherwise, the stay was amazing!

Impeccable
Absolutely incredible stay . I’ve travelled around the world and I have to say this hotel is one of the best I’ve stayed in. From care of staff to facilities to breakfast to every single aspect of my stay was incredible. Will miss this place

Fabulous
Location, service, food, and access to the metro
Cleanliness issues were there, but they attended fast
23 July 2024
Beautifully appointed rooms in a design conscious facility.
This place is impressive upon arrival. Great entry hall and concierge areas, beguiling and spacious room layouts which are generously appointed, plenty of facilities and wonderful high-rise views.
Only disappointment was that the pool shower drains were blocked - maintenance had been overlooked.

We will definitely return when we visit family. It’s rare to have hotels in KL that can satisfy our picky preferences.
Very comfortable, loved the shower and the snacks and coffee machine on the foyer. Buffet breakfast spread was so good!
1)Wished there was a portable makeup mirror. The yellow lighting on the bathroom mirror creates shadows that are not conducive for wearing makeup. If the room had a portable makeup mirror that I can take to the full length mirror that would’ve been perfect 2) stiffer pillows - but the pillows were so comfortable, just wished they were a tiny bit stiffer

Alila Bangsar, being in the center of busy Bangsar, always has its charm of pure relaxation once checked in, being trans
Alila Bangsar has always been my comfort healing go-to place bcs it is always never crowded during my visits. I get to enjoy the saltwater pool almost entirely at certain times, lounge at the sun loungers, just write and reflect there. The gym is also one of my favorite features of this hotel. It’s like being transported to a world of pure relaxation, fresh breeze and greenery but up in the sky. Warm hospitality, super comfortable bed and top-notch hygiene are few of the reasons I choose Alila Bangsar.
None that I don’t like, but I would love to recommend providing infused water/cold drinks options at the Living Room, by the coffee machine.

Very happy repeat visitor
The rooms are spacious - made more so with a separate desk and study area, and the bed is extremely comfortable. I've stayed here many times - the breakfast is excellent and varied, as is the service, the concierge is very helpful, the reception staff are prompt, the pool has a great view over the city and towards the Petronas towers and kl tower.
The taps at the sink take a little bit to work out and the tv control is not super intuitive. There is probably a guide to help with this so it may be user error!
